Ouija Boards - Doorway To The Darkside Or Just An Old Board Game?

[GymLadTim]

Have you ever tried a Ouija Board - I never have. Some years ago some friends were using one at a party but I refused to get involved. I am not religious but don't want to take any risks with those things.

Some swear that their lives have been ruined by Ouija boards, some scientists say that they work through the ideomotor effect where we move things subconsciously, other say they are a harmless board. I have no idea but would never do one after some of the stories I have heard.

What do you think?

On experience, and noting the 'awful tales' are always a friend of a friend knows someone or someone who knows someone down the pub who once knew.

There are no ghosts. Only what you want to believe.

I'm beginning to feel like Custer in his last ten minutes.

We used to try and freak each other out as kids with a set of lexicon cards and a down turned glass ( we improvised with the ouija board ).

" I'm beginning to feel like Custer in his last ten minutes."
Ah, the old "everybody is against me " ploy.

Theland - // I'm beginning to feel like Custer in his last ten minutes. //

Why, was he a hypocrite as well?

[Theland]

Andy do you really enjoy throwing insults?
Carry on mate.

[Mamyalynne]

You'll be fine Tim , threads after go awry late at night - don't worry.

[andy-hughes]

Theland - // Andy do you really enjoy throwing insults? //

Do you think me referring to as a hypocrite is an insult?

I assure you it is not - it is an accurate adjective for what you are, and you are delighted to prove it with tedious regularity on this site, as any regulars will know.

[andy-hughes]

And I am in no way shape or form, your 'mate'!!!

[Theland]

Jiminy - Defend me please?

[Mamyalynne]

I''ll advise you, stop now.

[Theland]

Oh dear! A vinegar drinker!

[Theland]

Jiminy - Stopped now.

[Mamyalynne]

Still on tea, wine at 11.

[Mamyalynne]

Good.

If anyone is interested in investigating the ‘supernatural’ the first thing they should do – in my opinion - is discount the ‘supernatural’ - because nothing is ‘supernatural’. I cite the case of the double slit experiment. //One of the most famous experiments in physics is the double slit experiment. It demonstrates, with unparalleled strangeness, that little particles of matter have something of a wave about them, and suggests that the very act of observing a particle has a dramatic effect on its behaviour.//

An answer from science is in there somewhere.
